#9

Hola,

This week has been a pretty awesome week. On Friday, we set up thisawesome dinner date for Vanessa and Salvador. We put lights up in therelief society room and made it look all nice. We made these awesomesteaks and potatoes too. It was so great. The best part is thatSalvador proposed to Vanessa. The only bad part is that he told hernot to answer and she could think about it. It was a littlefrustrating, but they are awesome and we like them a lot. We went bytheir apartment last night and told them we need an answer by thisThursday or we can't keep visiting them. It's hard because we likethem and want to help them but there is not much we can do since theyare not married.

Anyways, we also had a trunk or treat the other night and it was sofun! Our trunk was the best trunk in the whole ward. We had all thesescary decorations and the best part was that we bought dry ice, sothere was like smoke coming out of the back of our car. It was amazing. We have another trunk or treat this week which should be justas good.

I think I am really starting to gain a love for all the people here inPortland. I really have the desire to help them. It is awesome. I justwant them all to find the joys of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It issomething I wish I had before I left. I think back on all the peoplefrom school and various other places that really could've benefitedfrom this gospel. I know how hard it can be to share the gospel withfriends, but I now know more fully the blessings that come from livingthe gospel. Don't be afraid to share the things that make you happybecause I know that this gospel can help everyone. Thank you everyonefor your support and love! Have a great week this week! Adios!
